Ny WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1924 5 IN LAST SERMON Rev. Richards Returns to His Pulpit September 14 Rev. Von Ogden Vogt, who has been supplying the pulpit of the Winnetka Congregational church during the va- cation season, closes his work with the address tomorrow morning. The church considers itself fortunate in having the continued opportunity, during these sum- mer Sundays of listening to Mr. Vogt. His vital approach to the things that concern present-day living, the clear vi- sion and the vigorous preaching, have brought inspiration to his hearers, it is emphasized. Mr. Vogt's topic tomorrow will be "The Estimates of Memory," and the service is for everyone who is interested in attending. Rev. James A. Richards, the pastor of the church, preached last Sunday at Bridgton, Maine, his summer home. He plans to return to Winnetka in time for the services on Sunday, September 14. In recent letter, Mr. Richards wrote: "I regret I am not to be back in time to attempt a discussion of 'Mobilization Day' or 'Defense Day' from the Chris- tian point of view. It strikes me that such a military gesture on the part of the strongest and safest nation on the globe, at a time when it is prospering enor- mously and most other nations are stag- gering under great and debilitating bur- dens, is certain to have a most unhappy effect on the mind of the world and greatly weaken our potential service to the cause of peace. O America, you could do better than that!" Returns from Conclave of Nation's Fire Chiefs Chief G. M. Houren, of the fire de- partment, returned last Saturday from the convention of the International Several leading fire officials lectured on new fire fighting methods and means of fire prevention, the chief ex- plaines. The most novel event of all, according to Chief Houren, was the demonstration of a German-made truck which folded like a jackknife. After it is folded it is about half the size of the trucks used by the fire depart- ments in America, he said. The ap- paratus also has five extensions in- stead of one, as has the Winnetka truck, but is more difficult to operate, especially in winter. SANITARY MEN CLEAR SKOKIE SWAMP DITCH Chicago Sanitary District workmen were engaged this week in clearing the Skokie ditch from Willow street south and conducting a mosquito eradication campaign in the swamp 'regions west of the village. Clearing of the ditch and the drive against the stinging pests is being ac- complished as the result of a conference of village officials with Frederick W. Penfield, and other county commission- ers, in which it was emphasized that the work was necessary in the interest of the health of the community. Since no municipal body has the authority to prosecute the relief from the deplorable flood conditions in the Skokie west of the village, the Win- netka authorities assumed the initiative in appealing to the county commissioners and the Sanitary District engineers for prompt remedial measures. The clogged condition of the Skokie ditch, coupled with the excessively heavy rainfall of the spring and summer, has converted the Skokie into a veritable lake. The work by Sanitary District men, it is hoped will bring prompt if not permanent relief. DAVIES FAMILY RETURNING Dr. and Mrs. J. W. F. Davies, and their son Gould, have been spending a few days with Mrs. George W. Gordon, at her summer home in Dark Harbor, Maine.
